Despite the initial delay, works are expected to be completed in due time: the first 7 kms should be completed by the end of 2015 and the remaining 5 kms in 2016. Hence, the project is progressing well towards the achievement of the PDO. RD has agreed with the Contractor to re-design two junctions to optimize the design standards and reduce project costs. The completion of Feasibility Study from Zemo Osiauri to Argveta and Detailed Engineering Design of the Zemo Osiauri and Chumateleti road section (part of the next highway project) is monitored closely by RD and the Bank as the section is characterized by a difficult mountainous terrain, which implies multiple technical challenges. Both activities, along with a Value for Money analysis to define the financing strategy for the development of the highway corridor, are expected to be completed by end of July 2015. Findings will be presented during a Donor's Conference on June 25, 2015. The Environmental and Social Impact Evaluation and Resettlement Policy Framework related to the next highway section, prepared under this project, were completed. The institutional strengthening components under RD’s and MRDI's responsibility are progressing well.
